Dubbing is kind of dying out. Dubbing costs more and takes longer as they need to rewrite the scripts for the English translation to make sense and lip-sync with the characters. Subs are just translations and text. Most fan groups can turn out an episode subbed in three days at least and that's doing it part time.

Plus, long running series are not always going to get covered totally unless interest keeps up.

Just looked it up, 1-4 were licensed by Funimation and stage 4 was broadcast PPV via Animax.

I also saw that the series just caught up with the manga and there are no more stories to adapt. And here I thought the 5yr break between 4th and 5th was enough

Yeah, that happens too. A number of long running manga turned anime had filler seasons or long gaps between seasons/series. What's funny with some of those gaps is that yes, they can take as long as years between them. These days they wait to see if demand is high enough and then if they can schedule the same staff, actors and get a time slot. Symphogear has it's second season after a year long break. High School DxD is the same.
